Where is kunta Kinte buried

Answer 2

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, there is no grave. Kunte Kinte was a fictional character in Alex Haley's novel "Roots", later made into a TV mini series.

YOU ARE MISTAKEN. KUNTA KINTE WAS NOT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER. HE WAS THE GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDFATHER OF ALEX HALEY. HIS STORY WAS TOLD THROUGH GENERATIONS. AS AN ADULT ALEX HALEY SOUGHT OUT HIS FAMILY IN Africa AND CONFIRMED THE STORIES HE HAD GROWN UP HEARING. LATER. MUCH CONTROVERSY SURROUNDED THE FACTS OF THAT VISIT AS WELL AS SOME KEY POINTS OF THE STORY. AS FOR THE LOCATION OF THE GRAVE IT IS AN UNMARKED GRAVE ASSUMED TO BE IN THE SLAVE CEMETERY ON THE GROUNDS OF THE FORMER MURRAY PLANTATION. THE SCENE IN THE MOVIE WHERE KIZZY CROSSES OUT THE NAME TOBY WAS WRITTEN SOLELY FOR THE MOVIE AND DID NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

Yes Kunta Kinte was real & yes he is buried in Spotsylvania, Virginia. I actually live about five minutes away from the plantation he lived on & the field he is buried in on what is now Wallers Rd in Partlow, VA.

Ask the Wallers whose ancestors owned a 5,000 acre plantation where Kunta Kinte lived. I would like to know if he has an actual grave site. The original plantation house still exists at the end of Wallers Road.

Kunte Kinte's grave is located at what is now Loriella Park in Spotsylvania Virginia. In the back of the park there is a frisbee Golf course, and off in the woods by the second hole there is an old slave cemetery. It is not specifically marked as the grave of Kunta Kinte...but it is widely regarded by locals of the area to be the location of his grave.

Research has shown that Kunta Kinte was not the slave Toby owned by the Wallers. Toby was owned by William Waller before 1767 when Kunta was supposed to have arrived. It is probable he was a slave named Hopping George.

Honey, Kunta Kinte is a fictional character from Alex Haley's novel "Roots." So, unless you're talking about a really committed fan who decided to bury a fictional character in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, I'm afraid you won't find a grave for Kunta Kinte there.
